I paid $1300.00 to take the 6 hour welding inspectors exam through the American Welding Society.
I passed. Then I found out there was very little chance of getting hired because the companies would rather hire a college graduate with a welding inspectors license who never worked as a welder but has an engineering degree.

IF you worked as a welder (3 years minimum required)) and passed the exam, you were 2nd choice at best, after all of the engineering students.

There needs to be some kind of separation. Engineers also sign off the welding certificate exams.
